EAST
LANSING – East Lansing Police are continuing to investigate
the shooting death of Michigan State University student Dominique James Nolff.

"Our detectives have been working on the homicide at
the 200 block of Cedar Street," ELPD Capt. Jeff Murphy said Monday afternoon. "Everything that we
can release has been released."

The department said there will be more updates
as information warrants. Nolff, 20, was shot on Friday night along with his
friend, 20-year-old Corbin Holwerda, at his apartment in the Cedar Village
Apartments complex.

Nolff, who was from Middleville and graduated from
Thornapple-Kellogg High School, died of his injuries on Saturday morning at
Sparrow Hospital, while Holwerda was treated and released. Nolff was a sophomore at MSU and his death sparked an outpouring
of condolences on social media, including from MSU, Central Michigan
University, and East Lansing Mayor Nathan Triplett.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Nolff family
and friends," Ken Casella, a Michigan State spokesman, said in a statement Saturday. "MSU stands by to assist the East Lansing Police Department, who is
leading the investigation and have said the incident is not a random act."

The East Lansing Police Department says the suspect
is still at large and is a male between 20-25 years old, wearing tan pants, a
black coat and black shoes or boots. Anyone with information on the Cedar
Village shooting is asked to contact the ELPD's Detective Bureau at (517)
319-6884.
